What is your solution for hiccups? / myLot

June 6, 2017 10:34pm CST

Hiccups are an extremely annoying thing, but that doesn't usually cause serious harm beyond annoyance (which is bad the same way

). But when you have them, what do you usually do to stop them?

I usually drink a lot of water.

What almost always works for me is taking a spoonful of sugar placing it on my tongue and slowly suck on it and let it dissolve. Usually the hiccups are all gone by the time the sugar is gone.

I remember there was a time this girl accused me of stealing money from her. I was so angry that I kept defending myself. She then asked me if my hiccups were gone. I then realised that she was helping me to get rid of the hiccups.

My mom taught me this one. Take a glass of water in one hand and as you slowly drink it, raise your other arm straight up in the air as if you were trying to get a teacher's attention. Sounds goofy, but I've never seen it fail.
